LORD, I praise You – from everlasting to everlasting, beginning to end, You are God! All greatness, power, glory, majesty and splendor belong to You, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. All the kingdoms of the earth belong to You, and You are exalted as head over all. All wealth and honour come from You, for You are the ruler of all things – the very kings of the earth belong to You! In Your hands are strength and power to exalt and to give strength to all.  Father God, I give You thanks and I praise Your great name! You are God above all gods – Creator of the ends of the earth and sovereign over all!

This day Father, I join with all creation and pronounce that You are great and greatly to be praised! I join with Your angels this day – mighty ones who do Your bidding and obey Your word, and I praise You! With all of Your heavenly hosts, and servants that do Your will, I join in declaring that You alone are God and there is no other! With all of Your works everywhere in Your dominion I proclaim: ‘You are awesome, O God – great is Your power!’ Nothing is too hard for You!

Thank You Father, that You daily bear my burdens – You are a God who saves. I choose now to bring the concerns of my life to You and lay them at Your feet. Save me, O LORD!

From my sinful nature and all within me that yet wars against Your Spirit, save me O God (Pause and listen and respond to the Holy Spirit).

From selfish living that keeps me from responding in love to those around me, save me O God (Pause and listen and respond to the Holy Spirit).

From worry and anxiety that robs me of Your joy, save me O God (Pause and listen and respond to the Holy Spirit).

Father, this day, I ask for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit that sponsors praise and glory to You. May Your glory be over all the earth – over me Lord! May Your glory be over the ECB community of faith – over this city, Father! Over the nation! May the enemy cringe before You and all bow down to You alone, may Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth this day as it is in heaven! Yes and Amen! For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever! Hallelujah!

1 Chronicles 29:10-13; Psalm 47:7-8; Psalm 118:28-29; Isaiah 37:16; Psalm 103; 1-2; 20-22; Psalm 66:1-3; Jeremiah 32:17;
Luke 11:13; Psalm 57:11; Psalm 66:3-4; Matthew 6:9

Lord Jesus Christ, may all glory and power be Yours alone, for You have made us, Your people, to be a kingdom and priests, that we might serve God the Father. May we be found faithfully serving You! Thank You for loving us and freeing us from our sins by Your blood shed on the cross! Thank You for the victory of the cross (Revelation 1:5)!

Surround us with Your favour Lord and establish the work of our hands for the sake of Your Kingdom (Psalm 5:12; 90:17) (Pause and pray for those you know of by name from ECB. Ask God to give them ‘kingdom impact’ in their sphere of influence).

Give wisdom and discernment to those who lead us. May they be men and women of Your Word and Spirit, walking in Your ways. Encourage them this day, Father (Pause and pray for our pastors, elders, deacons, LIFE Group leaders, teachers, all who minister among us. Pray that they will be strengthened and encouraged by the Holy Spirit).

Thank You Father, that because of the finished work of Christ, we are more than conquerors. I ask that as a community of faith we would rise up and walk in this truth! Forgive us for being timid or passive. Give us holy boldness I pray (Romans 8:37).

Give to us I pray, a fresh determination to follow hard after You. May we hear and obey Your Word and persevere through trials (Deuteronomy 17:19). Father, I ask that You give to our community of faith, the gift of brokenness and repentance. Destroy all pride that keeps us from humbling ourselves before You and confessing our sin. Reveal the hidden things of our hearts Lord – purify us and make us holy (Daniel 2:22; Psalm 19:12)!

Before you begin, pause and ask for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. Be still and wait on the Lord…

Father, may praise to You and Your great name, pour out of our lives! Like the armies of King Jehoshaphat, may we praise You for the splendour of Your holiness and give thanks to You for Your love endures forever! May praise from the lips of Your people rout the enemy and send him running (2 Chronicles 21-22)!

May Your Word constantly be in our hands, on our lips and in our hearts! Give to each of us a fresh hunger for Your Word that we might truly be strong in You and Your mighty power (Psalm 149:6,9; Ephesians 6:12).

Father, may Your Holy Spirit fall on our Pastors, Deacons, Elders and LIFE Group leaders. May those who teach or in any way minister among us walk in new Spirit-life! Fill us afresh with the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13).

I pray for those among us who are tormented in their hearts and minds by the enemy, and this day I proclaim freedom in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ. Set captives free! Break strongholds LORD (Isaiah 61:1)!

Teach us to persevere in prayer, to always pray and never give up (Luke 18:1).

Awaken and revive Your Church in the city of Bangkok, Father. Restore first-love passion in our hearts, that Your love might flow through the streets of this city like a mighty river! Give us Bangkok for Jesus’ sake (Pause and pray for the street/area where you live, that the presence of Jesus would be made known. Ask God to reveal Jesus to your neighbours, co-workers and friends through dreams and visions, and the witness of your life)!

You, Jesus, are the Christ, the Son of the Living God! Jesus, You are our salvation! Father, may we as Your people, be overwhelmed with the joy of the salvation that we have in You and freely share the Good News with others (Ephesians 6:17; Acts 4:12; Matthew 16:16’ Psalm 51:12)!

I ask that ECB would become a true House of Prayer for all nations. Ignite a fire of prayer in us that spreads from here to the city of Bangkok, the nation of Thailand, and even the nations of the world!

Revive and soften our weary, hard hearts with Your Spirit, I pray. Renew gifts of faith and hope among us! Restore joy and gladness! O God, I ask that You pour out the Holy Spirit on us in power (Pause and ask for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit. Be still and wait on the Lord)!

May we put on Christ Jesus – and take our stand! May Your power that is at work in us this day, be mighty! Strengthen us by Your Spirit, Lord, that we would rise up and be mighty men and women, for the purposes of Your Kingdom!

As we gather as Your people each Sunday, may the walls of ECB resound with the praise of Your great name! May strongholds of unbelief and doubt be broken, and may there be salvation in Your house! Lead those who are searching, to salvation through Jesus!

May we be increasingly aware of the cunning schemes of the evil one. May we be wise and aware every time we turn on our computers or TVs and as we walk the streets of Bangkok. May we truly hate all that is evil, and run to, cling to, everything that is good! May our eyes be fixed on Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:11; 11:3; Hebrews 12:2; Romans 12:17)!

As we gather this Sunday, be the wall of fire around us and the glory within us, I pray! May glorious praise, thanksgiving and worship, be unleashed among us, and Your name and Your Word exalted (Zechariah 2:5; Psalm 138:2)!
